  1. Hi Guys, please help me with this one, I bought a entry level MTB, Scott aspect frame with 8 speed Accera groupset 2 years ago, since then bug has bitten me and want to upgrade the groupset now, My options are: Front Derailer : SRAM X 7 VS Shimano SLX 10 speed Rear Derailer : SRAM X 9 10 speed VS Shimano SLX 10 speed Crank : SRAM x1000 44-33-22 VS Shimano SLX 42-32-24 Should I just stick to Shimano and go the SLX route the price difference is about 2k more expensive for the Shimano? please give your views and reasons, I am still a very average rider and mostly like to do trail riding with the odd road race and Argus and obviously the karoo2coast tipe of races
  2. Hey danger dassie, since you riding the A10 you are the perfect person to speak to what other brands have you ridden and how do they compare?
  3. i've been looking at the A10 A20 29er and trying to find some detail on the net, but I'm not finding allot, its got a weird kink that is sort off trowing me off, anybody ridden one of them?
  4. how do you sort out smelly farts
  5. exact same error, hr goes 225 for a while, normally in the beginning of the ride so i just reset it, but need to take it back to check it out, bought mine in Dec
  6. was the issue not too many people arriving at the same place at the same time rather then a skill problem? I remember doing a race and everyone had to get off at a rocky patch because one dude fell and created that bottle neck, if there weren't so many people one could have slipped passed easily, I think organizers should take this sort of thing into consideration. Its almost like the Argus, can we not create a system like the comrades or two Oceans where one has to qualify to do certain races?
  7. what is the idea of an ad? Is it not to get attention?
  8. I also agree on buying a new bike, as he one can easily buy a cat in the bag, what I am saying is go out and test all the 6k bike s you can find and take the one that you feel comfortable on
  9. I agree with you on the 29er issue but disagree on buying a very entry level "branded" bike, I made that mistake and upgrading is always allot more expensive then buying right the first time. My suggestion is go and ride a couple of bikes in the 6k market and buy one that you feel comfortable on, I have friends thats got no name brand 29ers and I average a better pace on them as on my 26 entry level bike
  10. rather go for this then http://www.solomonsonline.co.za/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=17&products_id=698 at least you have deore and a better fork,
  11. WOW thats good value
  12. you can get a Scott Scale Team for that price
  13. I feel pap at the moment, had a *** week, traveling to CT tonight, and a full day tomorrow as well, I feel if I can sleep for days, what do you guys recommend? should I go for a quick vit B injection?
  14. Hauw man dees bike is toooo white
  15. why would you want to run strobe in the cycle lane, not like there will be cars coming from the front hitting you? run a medium beam, you run a strobe when you on the back roads!
  16. holy smokes, time for a new rim....
  17. I was actually thinking of getting my daughter one of those as well
  18. my 4 year old daughter will take it on as well, still riding with training wheels though, she doesn't get as much chance as dad to be on the bike unfortunately
  19. the website stated takes me to a mp3 site?
  20. Thanks, It makes sense, more lbs would be able to work on the Shimano
  21. Hi Guys, I need some help, I need to buy a new wheelset on budget, I currently have a very entry level rim with centre lock disk brake, which of these two should I go for, the Fulcrum or Shimano?
